Parallax Images

“Create a wide image (1792×1024) for a 2D parallax background in a side-scrolling video game. The theme is: [cloud kingdom] The image should be divided into 3 horizontal layers, same width, stacked vertically: Top row: This is the background and does not require transparency. Middle row: A midground layer, with less elements than the background, drawn in silhouette with some transparency so it can scroll separately. Bottom row: A foreground layer with a ground and relevant elements, less elements than the midground, also partially transparent for parallax scrolling. All layers should have a consistent art style. Use a transparent background for the middle and bottom layers, and keep visual separation between layers by leaving a small gap or distinct lighting. Do not blend the layers together. Vary the color theme between layers ensuring pleasing visual aesthetic. Output as a single image with three stacked rows. Resolution: 1792×1024 Transparent background: Yes (middle and bottom layers) Style: 2D pixel art / game art Purpose: Parallax background layers for a video game”

Replace [cloud kingdom] with your theme, I’ve found 2-word themes work best, experiment and share your results!

Note, you may need to do some minor touch ups to the edges if layers aren’t repeating seamlessly. It works most of the time, but not 100%.
